Pet Therapy Volunteer Visits

Pet therapy visits provide comfort, companionship, and moments of joy through gentle interaction with a certified therapy animal. These visits are calm and patient-led, allowing individuals to engage in ways that feel natural to them — whether that’s petting, talking to, brushing, or simply sitting alongside the animal.

For many hospice patients, especially those who are bed-bound or have limited mobility, animal companionship can reduce anxiety, lift mood, and create meaningful emotional connection. The focus is not activity or stimulation, but comfort, presence, and creating a peaceful, positive experience during each visit.
